PDB Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Is the fuselage printed in PLA? Are the wings finished with a film or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chantler Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Fuselage is ordinary PLA except for carbon ballast tube. Wing is 75g laminating film on hotwired EPS (as I can't get EPP). You have to be carefull with the temperature of the iron!! Spars are double, full-length, 6mm carbon tube (top and bottom). Has hardwood LE and balsa sub TE with correx ailerons. Tips have ply end-caps. Think I'd change TE for thin hardwood, and swap ailerons for hard balsa. Plan and Fusion 360 model on Tim's GitHub pages (url at start I think). My Fusion 360 mods are VERY untidy - would send only via PM as they are a bit embarrassing!!
